Why, you wonder, O Gentle Reader? Because I decided it would be a great idea to look at my yarn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving through a part of Dallas that I have never seen, I found myself feeling really out of sorts and grumpy. The parking lot where I stopped to buy groceries was badly laid out, the sky was too cold, the clouds all wrong. The people were all circus freaks, the checker too slow, and no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi wrote a marvelous book called Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. In it, he describes the ease and flow of our spirits when we have achieved an optimal level of competence in doing our lives and our jobs. With flow comes the success of doing a job well, but also the intense focus [...]]]></description>

We have dusted off the notebooks, found all the important pencils and pens required for school, collected fresh clothes, checked the lunchroom account balance&#8230;. and tomorrow it&#8217;s back to school. I also unearthed a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s after Christmas and the damage on the wallet is still rolling in, but soon the financial bleeding will stop (before the tax bleed begins). The house is still a wreck, and dusting the darn nutcracker is fiddly. One entire box of lights hasn&#8217;t been put up in two years, and didn&#8217;t get up again [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of us, I guess, require a lot more than a simple list or a decision to make a committment to change. We feed off of the collective energy put into New Year&#8217;s Eve. It is an impressive display, isn&#8217;t it, creating a lot of momentum for whatever project is at hand. But what if [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s quite simple: what are you going to START doing, what are you going to STOP doing, and what are you going to KEEP doing in 2009? One new start is an e-book I hope [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best thing about Christmas for me is the quiet. There&#8217;s a hush in the neighborhood and everyone seems to have some place to be. Those who don&#8217;t, of course, are hiding somewhere, sulking, mourning, idling away the day so that it doesn&#8217;t hurt too much. We&#8217;re flying out of a busy airport tonight, and [...]]]></description>
